The events of the evening so far had felt like a dream to Mrs. Garcia. A very vivid dream, but a dream none the less. That was the most rational explanation, no, the only explanation in her mind.
Mrs. Garcia was a teacher after all. An educator of young minds and most importantly a rational thinker. People don't just turn into giants randomly. Save that for the plot of some cheesy sci-fi movie. Despite this feeling of certainty a tiny bit of doubt lingered in her mind.
Mrs. Garcia bent down and ripped a shrub and a mailbox out of the ground. Standing back up she starred at the tiny objects in her palm. They certainly felt real and had tiny details like a house number and last name to match. Both things even had some weight little as it was relative to her grand size. Despite all of this her reasonable mind just wouldn't let her entertain the thought that any of this was real. She closed her fist crushing the shrub and mailbox now self assured that she was dreaming.
"That felt good."
She blurted out the words without even thinking about it. All her life she had never been the one in charge. Whether it was being passed up for promotions by younger teachers or too afraid to pursue new love interests after her husband passed. Maybe something inside her had always wished to be big and powerful and in control for once. Now in this dream she could let loose and do the things she never could in real life.
Mrs. Garcia looked up towards the moon that seemed much closer at her new size. Almost as if everything she ever wanted was now within her grasp.
"Lookout little people Lupe is large and in charge!"
Lupe stomped down the street ready to see what this dream had in store for her. Unfortunately those close by were already cowering in fear at the sight and sounds of the now determined, delusional giant teacher. She was all too real to them and the stuff of when nightmares become reality.
